Christmas time for me means heading back to Ohio and Pennsylvania to visit family. It also means getting to visit my old room and see my stuff that didn’t make the trip to California with me. 

The calendar above is from my days at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. After graduating in May 2006, I got a position at Enterprise through my friend Jeff. I needed to save for the move to California and really wanted to buy my own professional grade video camera. Enterprise let me run my own business, I have to laugh about that, it motivated me to follow my dreams and do what I wanted- which was more creative work. 

Check out the rest of the images from my trip to Cleveland.

Holiday traveling is terrible. Weather delays and mechanical problems forced me to spend over 24 hours in San Diego and O’Hare airports. This is a self portrait at 4am in O’Hare.

This was the scene at O’Hare. Crashed out everywhere.

Hi Mom.

This is Asbury Heights, my Grandma and Great Aunt both live here in Pittsburgh, PA (my birthplace)

In case you didn’t know, Pennsylvania is the illest state around. Cross stitched.

Private eyes are watching you. 

About to raid Grandma’s apartment of all of its cookies. 

Grandma’s Christmas ornaments are the best handmade ones around.

My ornament on G-Ma’s tree.

My dad really looks photoshopped into this photo. Jumping On Beds in Pittsburgh. 

Do it. Dial ZERO.

On the way back to Cleveland, iphone game session. 

Blonde haired kids. My sister Lindy and I back in the day at Station Square. High socks, Snoopy shirt, and a backpack- looks like an adventure. 

My dad rocking my knit hat as a beret. 

2006 calendar counting down the days till the move to California. Still up in my old bedroom.
